Nevertheless, this is a free-revving V-twin that favours peak power and torque delivery at higher revs, which means you’ll have just as much fun here too. To put it simply, you won’t be baiting Panigales, Monsters or even Hypermotards with the 41hp and 34.6Nm of torque available from the Scrambler Sixty2’s powertrain. What felt very equally obvious here though was the downsized 399cc powerplant’s deficit in power and torque. Grip from the Pirelli MT 60 RS tyres are great too whilst the brakes, though smaller at the front in this variant, offered plenty of bite whilst being easy modulate at the levers. Unlike its heavier 803cc siblings, the Scrambler Sixty2 felt much more nimble and easier to chuck about, especially in the bends.Įven with traditional forks up front, the Scrambler Sixty2 still offered a supple ride similar to its 803cc siblings. While it may not sound like much on paper, the 6kg diet made a huge difference once we got the Scrambler Sixty2 going during our brief test-ride session across some of Bukit Tinggi’s twisty B-roads. Beyond this, everything else remains identical to its 803cc siblings overall. This, along with other small changes all round, grants the Scrambler Sixty2 with a lighter claimed kerb weight of 183kg – 6kg less from the 803cc iterations. The biggest difference of course is the downsized 399cc air-cooled Desmo L-twin powerplant. Notable differences include the smaller 320mm front disc brake, the narrower and smaller 160/60R17-profile rear tyre, as well as the adoption of traditional Showa 41mm front forks. Upon closer inspection, the Scrambler Sixty2’s differences from its siblings lie in some of the major hardware primed on board.
